  1. Mix the melted butter into your starter. Add baking soda and enough flour to achieve a stiff dough. Knead mixture together until a smooth, stiff dough forms.

  3. When you are ready to make your crackers, preheat oven to 350F.
  4. Knead seasonings into the dough until well incorporated.
  5. Add cheese and continue kneading until evenly distributed.
  6. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a rectangle, roughly 10” x 12” and 1/8” thick.
  7. Transfer rolled dough to a greased baking sheet. Cut into desired shapes with a pizza cutter.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes.
  9. After 15 minutes have passed, turn off the oven, but leave the crackers inside for an additional 10-15 minutes.
